I’m not sure. The biggest benefit to me has been the ability to pass on the GI Bill to my child. Saving me $50,000 a year, so a $200,000 benefit. Not sure Tricare beats that...
Over the course of retired life it might be close. Insurance at DL aint cheap and there is a lot of co pays I aint paying.
Splitting hairs here, retirement nets you Tricare. Certain number of years and signing paperwork gets GI Bill transfer--retirement not all all necessary.
Certainly a fantastic benefit
